PWHL Game Draws Passionate Crowd in Steel City
A crowd of 8,850 packed the lower bowl to watch Toronto’s 2-1 victory over Montréal, which is the highest-attended women’s hockey game in Pittsburgh history. It was excellent attendance, especially considering the Penguins played twice over a busy weekend that also featured St. Patrick’s Day festivities, including later that evening against the Red Wings.
“Honestly, like, just to see how much support we're getting… the phrase ‘you build it and they will come’ is so real, and it's happening,” said Montréal forward Kristin O’Neill, who scored her first of the season in the contest.
